Good to hear.

My parents, twin brother, and my sister are all back there. Plus, 90% of my high school friends. So I visit as much as I can, which isn't that much, unfortunately. I wanna move around for a few years after I finish grad school, but for sure I wanna move back to Chattanooga eventually.

When you do a speed test, you generally want to choose a server that is close to you, but not too close. If the server is too far, then there are too many "hops" between you and the server, and any number of issues can slow you down and the reading will be inaccurate. If you choose a server that is too close (as in, possibly a server run by your own ISP), then you will see a result that is well above your "real world" speed.

Hope this helps.

TVA?

I still work for my LA based company 100% remotely. My wife took a job near here last summer. We moved everything up here as I tried to find work in Chattanooga. Finally approached my company about working remotely...worked out. Moved here myself April 2nd. Love it.
